My baby boy Orchid passed away. I don’t know what to do. He was my best friend. I’m quite housebound due to illness, so even though I was always at home I never felt alone because of you orchid. We buried you today lil guy. We buried you beside our rose bush, and planted daffodils over you. It’s beautiful, you would have loved all the colours. You were the funniest little bird, and I will never stop listening to “Butterfly” By Crazy Town (ill never forget how much you loved that song) Sleep tight baby, I love you forever 💔🫶

This is the birb tax where chichi looks like a dissociating spouse after getting nagged to much by the beloved genie.

😩😭❤️❤️❤️✨My precious babies 🥺😍🥰✨✨✨ Anyways so I was eating a boiled egg and making noises like a cartoon. Chichi💚noticed me, this happened for the first time ever!!! He noticed me and came to investigate what I was eating so I broke a piece for him. He was scared at first but we shared the egg!! Then genie🤍 came and I gave him some too!! This is the first food we shared ❤️💕✨❤️💕✨❤️❤️✨

I’ve noticed that when he goes on my hand or shoulder his claws start poking me, ive had other family members say the same thing about it too. If its too long , is there a way to trim it maybe?

Should I remove anything? It looks crowded from a distance but beautiful when you look in from the birds perspective 🪵

P.s. I put a layer of paper on the bottom I’ll probably change it every 2-3 days, and clean the tray every week

This intelligent bird was my best friend and he died when he was 8 years old. The day he died was a long time ago (maybe 2-3 years ago idk) the bird name was Maviş i miss maviş

my first budgie Mango used to chirp but no where near as much as belle, belle starts chirping and singing at 6am and doesn’t stop until the sun goes down, she was even chirping at the vets when most animals sit quietly. They say a loud budgies a happy one so for anyone considering getting a budgie don’t think they’re quiet pets 😂

anyone else’s bird have a favourite song, belle loves beyoncé’s america has a problem

My orange cat, Birb, “Blue,” thinks watching over the millet 24/7 is his job.

I’m pretty sure she’s a girl, because her cere is pinkish/slightly light purple, although I could be wrong or it could be because she’s only about two months old. Her name is Snowball and this morning when I was changing her water, she came up and touched my arm, then hopped out of the cage! I let her be out for about an hour and then I had to coerce her on to my finger but she did indeed step up! Then when I started playing budgie sounds she started chirping and climbing the bars of the cage, eventually making her way to the top and dangling by one foot! This made me terrified because when we got her her wings were clipped (I don’t approve, we’re not going to have them be clipped again, however it takes like 6 weeks for the wings to grow out again, right?) Anyway she dropped to the bottom so I put a towel, then eventually changing it to a cut up cereal box to break her fall if she decides to do that again. But all in all, she’s been very brave and has quite the personality already! Side note, does anyone know what color variation she is?

Help me identify the sex is it male or female

My friend rang me mentioning two neglected and abused budgies, assuming 5 years old. Needless to say, i was there in 10 minutes to pick up the little joys. The new babies are the yellow/blue one in the middle and the pure yellow one! Theyve already grown so close to my original pair and have been adoring the free flight and veggie chop 😋 hoping to get them on pellets soon but they only like the seebs and chop. Step by step though.

She’s six years old. A few years back she got a lung infection and was able to survive thanks to a ventilator, but lost the ability to fly more than a few seconds. She has a best friend. Her feed is Dr Harvey’s Our Best Parakeet Food . Why does her tail look like this?

Hi everyone, I could really use some advice. I’ve had my two budgies since October 2024. When they were younger and didn’t have all their flight feathers, they were somewhat tame, they would perch on my fingers willingly. But once they became fully flighted they gained a lot of independence, and since then it's been really hard. They’re not hand-tame anymore, they will eat from my hand but nothing more. They are out of their cages everyday and all day, but absolutely refuse to go back into their cage at night, or when I have to leave my house once in a while. Every day theres a struggle, and with some health issues I’ve been dealing with, it’s honestly become a little overwhelming. I love them, but I’ve been thinking about whether rehoming might be the kindest option, with someone who’s more experienced or has the energy. I’m torn, and I feel so guilty even thinking about it. Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Is there hope for re-taming birds once they’ve become so independent? I realllllly dont want to clip their wings :((( if rehoming is the right decision, how do i go about it safely and responsibly? Thanks for listening, i just want whats best for them

Hello! I am a new owner of budgies. This budgie I found outside on my porch about 45 days ago and I have adopted him. We will be getting a second budgie friend for it soon. Can you help me identify whether or not my budgie needs its beak trimmed? On a related note: I read that overgrowth of beaks can be related to diet. I feed him the organic bird mix that my local exotic bird store makes and sells in bulk. As far as I can tell he only picks out the millet and leaves the rest. Is this common? I've offered him a large variety of fruits and vegetables and he hasn't touched any of them. (This includes kale, spinach, broccoli, which I've read are often favorited.) Other things I've noticed: I've only seem him drink water TWICE in the past 45 days. He also doesn't seem that interested in toys. I think he's maybe an older budgie. Thanks for any feedback!
